Walid Akkad, from Lebanon to Paris for design jewelry with a Nordic taste ♦

Lebanon is a country blessed by nature and cursed by the civil war that for many years has upset the lives of its inhabitants. For this reason many have gone away in the past: many creative minds, like that of Walid Akkad, who moved to France. In Paris the designer studied jewelery, design, gemology, pearls. In short, everything you need to become a jewelry designer. But not just any one. His pieces are rare, very exclusive, with a modern and clean design, which would make one think of a Nordic rather than a Middle Eastern taste.

Walid Akkad realizes his jewels in the goldsmith laboratories of Paris, under his supervision. He loves the less known stones, the clean lines, the attention to detail. They are not jewels for everyone: one of the rare occasions when it goes outside are the editions of the Pad, an event reserved to art, antiques and a few selected jewels, in Paris but also in Montecarlo, Monaco or London. As happens, precisely, in the new edition of this exclusive fair.

Pad London is home to collectible jewelry and exceptional designers. Here is who exposes ♦ ︎

On the Thames there is a design festival with the 12th edition of Pad London (1-7 October 2018). And where there is design there is also jewelry. While most of the exhibition space is dedicated to the proposals of 68 important galleries including art, design, decorative arts, tribal art and antiques, a significant part of the Pad is dedicated to jewelery, collectors’ items. Here are the jewelery brands: Walid Akkad (France), Lorenz Bäumer (France), Karry Berreby (France), G. (United Kingdom), Hemmerle (Germany), Ma Tei (France), Object D’Émotion – Valery Demure (United Kingdom), Siegelson (USA), Suzanne Syz (Switzerland).

Collectible jewelry, wearable art and vintage jewelry and contemporary crafts, is gaining huge success at international fairs.

For this edition the fair has therefore expanded its offer with four new specialized galleries. The French designer Lorenz Bäumer, former artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s high jewelery and creator of collections for Chanel, exhibits architectural pieces that reveal his training as an engineer and his passion for poetry, nature and color. The Lebanese designer Walid Akkad offers minimal jewelry, reflecting his quest for timeless beauty and impeccable work. Glenn Spiro, English master jeweler and former Christie’s expert, brings his spectacular designs inspired by nature and demonstrates his innovative work with titanium. Objet d’Émotion – Valéry Demure, on the other hand, brings together a selection of vintage gems and contemporary creations of emerging talents such as Melanie Georgacopoulos, Francesca Villa, Polly Galles and Nadia Morgenthaler.

There is also Siegelson’s antique jewelry, blue-chip jewelry as an outstanding 1951 Suzanne Belperron suite on sale for the first time ever and an iconic Art Moderne bracelet by Jean Després since 1931.

Finally, Hemmerle, Ma Tei and Suzanne Syz present their coveted contemporary creations while Karry Berreby exhibits vintage and contemporary collectibles. Federico Graglia
